[Building Sakai] Resources Access via Database

[Jeff Davidson]

A follow up question is when someone "dupes"
(copies) content from one site to another, does
Sakai (we have a hosted site) truly copy the 
content or just put in pointers to an "absolute"
storage location, i.e., are there two copies of the
content as a result of "duping" or just one with
multiple sets of pointers?
 
Thanks,
 
Jeff

Future-proofing would be good!

Not very important, but I think Jackrabbit and kin are JSR 170 (yes, 
there are far too many JSRs to remember!) – IIRC 168 is portlets.

What other functionality might be useful for this type of integration?
